A list of Russian ships hit on July 6–9 has been released.

Service members of the Unmanned Systems Forces are continuing their campaign to “detankerize” Russia’s “shadow fleet”. Specifically, 14 Russian tankers were struck in the Sea of Azov on the night of July 9.

In total, 35 Russian tankers, dry cargo ships, and special vessels have been “sunk” over the past four days. This was reported the night before by Robert “Madyar” Brovdi, commander of the SBS .

Russia’s “shadow fleet” has already lost 35 tankers

According to “Madyar,” last night (from July 8 to July 9), SBS fighters struck another 14 vessels of the “shadow fleet” in the Sea of Azov.

Overall, over the past four days, the aggressor’s ability to sell oil—which is of critical importance to it—despite Western sanctions has been further reduced. “The ‘shadow fleet’ of cowards is shrinking: 35 tankers, dry cargo ships, and special-purpose vessels have been struck in 96 hours,” Brovdi emphasized.
